Some really late details from the Ibanez camp this year. It's already the final week of 2019 & no firm references are offered to us till now (Xmas, actually). This is the initial disclosure for 2020, the RG1121PB (Premium).
Sure, there's the 7-string version as well (RG1127PB). Matching burled headstock veneer for both models - good.
Some things to note, folks. It's now a 7-piece neck. These people are serious about stability & they know roasting necks for each & every single new model is costly. Anyway, this approach had proven its worth in terms of a successful outcome so why not stick to it, yes?
On the flip side - gold frets. I have no idea if it's merely a coating, we'll get more details soon. Say, does gold add anything to durability or tone? We know it adds to cost, yes?
New bridge - looks minimalist & derivative (might be a variation of the Mono Rail). That's a covered DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickup you see there. They should disclose if this model is really favoured by the fans by an overwhelming majority. I might be the marginal few who finds it distasteful.
Some official promo clip here which includes the whammy version, RG1120PB. If you've noticed by now, Ibanez reformulated the model citation again. Oh, well.
